how about this?
PHP Code:
get_playersnum_flags(const flags[]="ch", const team[]="")
{ /* flags a=get alive players only || b=get dead players only || e=include team(use the team parameter) || c=don't include bots || h=don't include HLTV */
new players[32],pnum;
get_players(players,pnum,flags,team) // check out more flags in the documentation (amxmodx.inc)
return pnum;
}
